    Not saying this for sure IS the Revolution, but if one ever comes, it'll be spur of the moment and disorganized a lot like what we're seeing with these protests.

    No one goes "ok guys, Revolution is happening in 10 days at 4pm be there!!! :)"

    Things just snowball and snowball some more, and the existing power structure is gone by the time things cool down

    These protest either end or escalate on the day of the election. Nothing totally stops until Trump gone imo. We haven’t even reached the first step yet which is arresting the rest of the cops.

    Seeing pushback against the protests get a lot of attention online

    Dont forget this is a majority white and conservative country, the silent majority is still likely a real thing

    The conservatives are framing this purely from the POV of looting and not the conditions that would allow people to do such a thing. Oldest tactic to try and delegitamize a movement. And people fall for it so easily

    How can arresting the 4 cops be the first steps of the Revolution when our inciting event for getting in the streets is that cops are essentially above the law? The Revolution can't be complete without punishing those cops, but we can't count on that happening in the existing power structure. Priority objective no f***ing doubt, but not necessarily the barrier of entry

    We aint even at the point where they admit this is an issue, that's why peace isn't going to work in this case.

    I sent this to Minneapolis Police Dept yesterday,all of you in the thread who haven’t should do the same:

    Justice for the Murder of George Floyd:

    Hello,

    My name is insert name. I am a resident of State/City and I am emailing today to demand accountability for the racist murder of George Floyd.

    I demand that charges be pressed against all officers involved in this heinous racist murder, including specifically Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao. They should not be allowed to keep their jobs and should be charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for manslaughter.

    George Floyd should be alive today if it was not for the gross abuse of power and white supremacy exhibited by the Minneapolis Police Department, all officers involved must face consequences for this murder in order to provide his family with justice and prevent further cops from committing brutal acts of violence against our communities.

    In addition, I demand that we start providing more support towards community efforts and organizations outside of the police forces in order to prevent police brutality and violence in the future.

    Sincerely,
    your name

    Email: police@​minneapolismn.gov

    Bcc:minneapolis311@​minneapolismn.gov,citizeninfo@​hennepin.us,info@​mpdfederation

    Subject: Justice for the Murder of George Floyd

    I sent this from an iPhone so your set up may be different but please,use this to get these other 3 men arrested.

    Everyone‘s white in that comment section of reddit. Just want to slap all of them. I bet they all look like the kids in the video too.

    If those kids were really down with the Protest They won’t be setting up a game of beer pong. They would be outside.

    Instead they’re filming while people are out risking their lives, and then think putting up their fit is going to help and then screaming “we’re on your side”

    They got what they deserved.

    How could you possibly think like this?
